In the Field: Costa Rica Canopy Tour

During
a lay day at the recent Los Sueños Open Billfish tournament
in Herradura, Costa Rica, PMY’s Capt. Patrick Sciacca
tried his hand at a rainforest canopy tour with Canopy Adventures
Jaco. After trucking up a mountainside and strapping into his safety
harness, the tour consisted of swinging from tree to tree high (a
couple of hundred feet) over the rainforest’s deck on
angled cables. (Some of the cable runs on this tour were 500 meters
in length). If you’re into high-altitude, high-speed
fun, and enjoy incredible views of the Pacific, Capt. Sciacca highly
recommends trying this if you’re down this way. The
tours average about $55 American and last about an hour and a half.
